Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease
Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) is a characteristic of inner ear problem in which the body’s immune system by mistake attacks its inner ear. Here, the patient will experience considerable hearing loss, which will block him or her from the fullness of the usual day-to-day activities.
There will be a ‘missing feel’ somewhere, and this will be a practical hindrance as far as the free movement of the individual is concerned. Apart from the continuously increasing hearing loss, there will be the unusual experience of hissing, ringing, or roaring sound in the ear.

The causes include hereditary factors, damages that occur to the inner ear parts, or the excess production of antibodies.

Get checked by the ENT specialist that helps to lower the symptoms of the disease.

Cochlear implant in India is a very rare curative procedure then. Under the leadership of Dr. P.G.Visvanathan, Dr.Aruna Viswanathan and Dr.Anjana Visvanathan, we offered this technology to India, thereby making the cure for hearing loss accessible and affordable.
Implant Otology
The outer part of the ear consists of the pinna (auricle) and ear canal. The basic function of the external ear is to amplify and adjust the sound frequency (around 3 kHz) and pressure (around 30-100 fold).
